Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 Slabbed INB Holder
This classic American collectible features the iconic Indian Head Buffalo Nickel design produced by the United States Mint between 1913 and 1938. The coin is composed of copper and nickel and is professionally housed in a protective slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring a green label with a unique serial number and barcode for identification. The obverse showcases the profile of a Native American chieftain, while the reverse displays the American Bison. This piece represents a significant era of American numismatic history and is presented in a secure holder to preserve its condition and provide a clear view of both the obverse and reverse designs.
Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 INB Holder
Condition: The coin is in a heavily circulated state with significant wear. The date is worn away and no longer visible on the obverse. The details of the Native American profile and the buffalo on the reverse are smoothed, particularly on the higher points of the design. The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, though no numeric grade is assigned on the label. This specimen is a business strike produced for general circulation. The metal content is a copper-nickel alloy, composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
The Buffalo Nickel, designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, was minted between 1913 and 1938. It is celebrated as one of the most iconic American coin designs, featuring a composite portrait of a Native American on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. Because the date was placed on a raised area of the design, it was prone to wearing off quickly in circulation, as seen with this particular example. These coins were struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints.
